Car is beautiful Aero but I have a question for you. Would you buy a regular MC with a stick if you couldn't go for the bucks needed to buy an S or a Works Edition? My dilemma is this. I think I want to keep the XF when the lease is up and my everyday driver (an 05 Grand Cherokee) is coming off lease 2 months later. So basically I'll be buying the XF for the buyback (about $22,000) and leasing another car for everyday use. I love my Jeeps (my 5th GC) but the gas is getting ridiculous so I want to go for a car with around 30 MPG and a lease payment of no more than $250/mo for everything. I don't think I can get an S for that, probably just the base Mini. Is it worth it? Will I regret not going for the S and would I be stupid dressing up the base with all the extras that we're all prone to do? Lots to discuss here! My other consideration is maybe a Mazda 3. Everyone's thoughts?
